I am trying to build Ethereal 0.10.8 on Windows XP using Visual Studio 6.0.
 
I believe my build environment is ok.  When I execute "nmake -f makefile.nmake setup" I get the response "Ethereal is ready to build."
 
The problem occurs when I run "nmake -f makefile.nmake".  The files in wiretap\ are compiled successfully however the link generates an error "link: too many arguments".  If I manually link it works ok.  This problem occurs for every link that's required in the build.  If I do it manually it works, but it fails when it is called from nmake.
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
